Will Forte's The Last Man on Earth cliffhanger ending was actually the perfect sendoff

Vulture

According to Jesse David Fox, Forte treated nearly every episode as a series finale. He adds: "When the news of cancellation came out, I emailed Forte’s team, asking if he wanted to reveal how season five would’ve started. But in the time since (and because they said he was unavailable), I’ve decided that I don’t want to know. Because that uncertainty is at the core of the show. We’ll never know the fate of our main characters because there is no way for them to ever know their own fates. Almost every single episode of Last Man on Earth ended with a cliffhanger, partly to get people to keep watching, and partly because that’s truthful to the story they’re telling."
